website where the government lists jobs to bid on. it's soliciting bids for a company to print 4 million permanent residence cards with perm neanlt residence documentation cards mixed for five years. the company needs to be print double that number at a moment's notice. the contractor shall demonstrate the ability to support a surge to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements. these cards themselves must have radio frequency i.d. embedded in a polycarbonate and the government is looking for 34 million of them. bill: is the white house behind

this? >> reporter: not according to someone we spoke to from immigration services who explained they needed a new contractor to make a few year's worth of green cards. on their own they add that line much maybe needing a surge of 9 million extra cards just in case the president grants amnesty to illegal immigrants already in this country or any kind of meaningful immigration reform happens but they say they don't have inside information about that happening. martha: how many illegal immigrants are in this country in the answer is not that easy because they are undocumented and that could be hard to track. according to pew research there were 7 million in the use the

which is down from the peak of 12 million in 2007. oscar pistorius learns his fate today as the judge hands down a sentence of five years in prison for the death of his model girlfriend reeva steenkamp. but he could be out before that. how did the judge reach this verdict today? >> reporter: given pistorius is convicted of the south african equivalent of manslaughter he could have gotten off with no jail time. but the judge said she weighed many factors. his psychological and physical state and precedent. the line that resonated from her was not giving a custodial sentence would send the wrong

message to the community. a long sentence would lack an element of mercy. to those who felt pistorius should have got and tougher sentence the judge said society cannot always get what they want because the courts do in the exist top win popularity contests. so it's five years. the maximum for culpable homicide in south africa is 15 years. but there is much controversy over the fact that he may only have to serve one year of that and then do some kind of house arrest with his family. bill: the cdc releasing these long awaited new guidelines for health workers dealing with ebola-infected patients. the new recommendation centered on keeping medical professionals

you have to be clad head to toed head to toe in water:proof clothing. you could have a full hood winds own powered respirator. the cdc will be training health workers how to take this stuff off and and put it on. according to the head of the cdc dr. tom frieden, he said many of the procedures people do in the united states are more risky than the ones they are doing in africa. bill: any possible new ebola cases in the u.s.

>> reporter: nothing new. they continue to monitor 100 people by the magic date of november 7, they will be out of the woods. the centers for disease control director said there have been 400 ebola alerts, people who came in with certain symptoms. thankfully only one ebola patient testing positive in addition to the two nurses. bill:ing fingers crossed. martha: president obama's ebola czar not exactly hitting the ground running. now he says he won't be able to testify friday because he hasn't officially started his job yet. klain will be the point man on the government's response. he's the former chief of staff

martha: a massive explosion rocking the eastern ukrainian city of donetsk. shock waves from that blast were felt for miles, even interrupting a news conference by pro-russian regions. it's not immediately clear what caused it. it's near the scene of constant fighting. the ukraine claims 300 people have died since that ceasefire began. >> what prompted this decision is they were running desperately low on arms, ammunition and medical supplies. and they needed it to fight. we made kobani a priority because the enemy made kobani a

priority. bill: to the east in iraq isis launching 15 suicide bombing at the same time. general jack keane, a fox news mimentd analyst. what kirby is talking about are the american air drops to the kurdish fighters the other day which may continue. but when you hear the news about iraq, is isis slowing down at all? >> a good operation in kobanin to reinforce what the kurds are doing in standing off isis. isis is on the offensive. they are organized in regional command. those commanders have a fair amount of you a on any to do what they want. so it's impressive they have done that's attacks near

simultaneous. most those attacks were thwarted by the kurds. but isis has operational offensive flexibility and the airstrikes have not been able to contain them or take that away from them. bill: the strategic command says it will take strategic patience to defeat isis. >> we are blessed to have general austin, the commander of central command. he's talk about strategic patience. he's right. isis timetable for conducting this war is different than the u.s. and coalition timetable. we are saying it will take a year to stand up indigenous forces in iraq and syria. isis is not on that timetable. general austin is talking about strategic patience because the

issues he has with standing up that indigenous force. he's handcuffed by the president's decision not to provide thousands of trainers. he's hand capped by the fact that we are arming and equipping the kurds at such a biewrp krat i can rate it's irresponsible. there is some very real reasons why this is taking so long. bill: you think this timetable must be accelerated. there was a story that broke yesterday about isis spreading into lebanon. what did make of that report and what does that mean? >> isis has designs on lebanon as part of its caliphate. but isis is not going to storm across the border to take control of lebanon given all the challenges that have taken place

in syria. what this is in lebanon, some of the sunnis who are radicalized and identification with isis and the success they have gained. er in frustrated with hezbollah supporting assad in syria. that's where this unrest is coming from and that's the cause of it. bill: what do you think our commander-in-chief and his strategy is? is he taking a long view of this? is he gauge an election that's two weeks away? is he thinking let many let them kill each other before we make a more significant move or will that significant move ever happen? what's your view on that? >> that's a tough question. we can only judge by the across being taken and separate the

rhetoric. in my judgment the timetable the president has put us on. it will take a couple years to gain control of this situation which extends it beyond his administration. i don't think that's realistic. we should have a sense of urgency and passion to get this done. we have the capability to equipment indigenous forces. we can change this timetable. i don't see any evidence that that's going to happen and that's frustrating. because what happens as a result of that. casualties are driven up. the war is protracted and political support gets lost. that's the direction we are headed in. bill: jack keane from washington today. martha: there is a frightening warning about your car. millions of people are being urged to fix their airbags

the 43-year-old suspect telling police he committed his last murder by strangling his victim with a cell phone cord. this is not the first time he talked this way. what has he said. >> reporter: just last year he was released from a texas prison after nearly killing another woman in 2008. in that case has a lot of similarities to this most recent murder. police say darren vann was meeting with a prostitute, just like the similar case when he attacked, strangled her and yelled he could kill her before raping her and letting her leave. that was in austin in 2008. the 43-year-old served five years and returned to gary, indiana last year as a reng registered sex offender. but even before that, in 2004 the former marine was arrested in gary after dousing himself

and another woman in gasoline while holding her in a headlock while trying to ignite them with a lighter. bill: do prosecutors believe this and could there be more? >> reporter: police have only been able to confirm 7 but he admitted to killings going back 20 years. they say if it wasn't for him openly admitting to the killing he could have never known about them. >> the suspect continues to talk to police. it's noteworthy the bodies recovered in the city of gary were a result of these conversations. >> reporter: one police source said vann is basking in the glory of those crimes reliving them as he recounts them to officers. they are looking into some of

their own cold cases to see if there are any other leads to vann. martha: several democrats have been trying to distance themselves from president obama but the president saying he and these candidates have the exact same agenda. >> the bottom line is these are all folks who vote with me, they have supported my agenda in congress, they are on the right side of minimum wage, they are on the right side of fair pay, they are on the right side of rebuilding our infrastructure on the right side of early childhood education. this isn't about my feeling being hurt, these are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me, and i tell them, i said, you do what you need to do to win. i'll be responsible for making sure our voters turn out. martha: bob beckel former

campaign manager and cohost of the five. if you are running one of these campaigns, is this what you want to hear? >> it's true what obama said, his poe posals are on the ballot. but the team who decided to vote against the democratic candidates are going to vote that way. what obama said is right. it's turnout. i think the policies he talks about, a lot of people including me like them and we are the base, i'm the base. >> are you going to turn out, bob? >> i'm going to turn out. i'm going down to maryland and vote. i never voted for a republican in my life. let's take a look at some of these poll numbers. in the red states where

democrats are in tough positions this is what the job performance approval numbers look like. you have got alaska, colorado, kansas city and kentucky. >> the president's statement is bizarre. it under mines the message the democrats are trying to make those states. they are saying i'm an independent. and the president is saying that's not true. when he says it's not about me and my feeling aren't hurt. maybe his feelings are hurt because otherwise it's by zear's saying that. we are looking at a contest betwee general political environment which is highly unfavable to democrats and the ground game. a lot of the races are extremely

close and the question is whether the democrats can pull a rabbit out of the hat at the end. martha: you say trying to fire up the base. some of the women's issues have done that in if the past. equal pay, minimum wage is one of those buzz words that might get some people out who otherwise might not vote. >> republicans are sitting on a base of voters who already decided they are going to vote. that's what's critical here. the fact is you can't run from the president. a president in the 6th year of his term, everybody is running from him. so in this case you can't hide. you can say all you want about walling yourself off but the fact is you are still a democrat. martha: i was listening to laura ingrahm this morning saying it's not about my feeling.

my feeling aren't hurt. he says he is -- she says he's going through this acceptance problem that his policies have not worked and he's trying to figure out why. armchair psychology, what do you think about that? >> it's got to be difficult when you were a colossus striding the world. that phase of his career is long gone. his presidency is effectively over if he loses the senate. then we are just look at executive actions and foreign policy which hasn't gone very well. we are into the acceptance phase and he may be having -- martha: an acceptance program

for obama. >> the economy is booming. remember when obamacare was going to be the issue? nobody has talked about obamacare? actually the rates have gone down. where is the issue that you are doing run on? >> general discontent and foreign policy is popping in some of these races. but obama is the big issue and he's an anchor around these democrats. the question is whether they can struggle to the surface and get some air. martha: do you think he's over as laura ingrahm has said. has the party moved on? thinking about 2016 and hillary. his former colleagues are talking more about hillary than they are talking about him. that many got to be tough. >> it's not unusual. a president, particularly when he's up fence a senate and house. some of the biggest legislation is passed when you have a

president of one party and the congress controlled by another party. eventually unless they can all do nothing -- martha: what would be that big legislation? >> tax reform. martha: republicans and democrats don't talk about it. >> nobody wants to talk about it. martha martha: he's never wanted to do that. >> he doesn't have the capacity. >> you have got to have one thing but you have got to run with. you can't veto him. the congress passes, they veto and they are all accused of doing nothing. the congress is in terrible shape. their poll numbers are far worse than obama's. martha: so far according to this sound bite he's saying it is work and everybody is still with

me. we'll see if he has a turn of heart in the next couple weeks. bill: you were talking about polling numbers in states with democrats from red states. we have been looking at the what if scenario. 55-45 is what the republicans need to pick up a 6th. west virginia puts it at 46. montana gets you to 47. we'll see what happens in south dakota. watch what happen's happening in montana. there is a good poll that shows a good lead for the republican in arkansas. a new poll had him up 8. we will see whether countien h r cotten sealed that race up.

later tonight they will do battle in their debate and we'll see if scott brown can cut into this real clear politics average of 2.6. the other one in north carolina. it will be the most expensive battle in the history of american politic. kay hagan has a 3-point lead. republicans wants to turn north carolina from blue to red. so far hagan is still edging out thom tillis in the tarheel state. kay hagan is not going to appear with thom tillis in this televised the forum. she said i agreed to three. and that's it. but tom til his wil -- but thome

martha: let's look how the markets are doing on this tuesday morning.

investors focusing on higher than expected growth in china. we'll keep an eye on the markets throughout the program. bill: could legal challenges to taxpayer subsidies put obamacare in a death spiral? there is a new study turned by the department of health and human services saying the healthcare law may be damaged beyond repair if you take the subjects does away. without subsidies costs of premiums would rise by 43% and force enrollment down by 68%. that would mean 11 million americans would lose health insurance. byron york, good morning to you. >> you would need an act of court to change this, right? what they are challenging is the text of the law which they save allowed premium subjects does for state-run exchanges only.

we are waiting on a court ruling on that. there is another point to be made. the subsidies is what makes obamacare affordable for so many millions of americans. let's start there. >> that's exact hi right. this study has -- that's exactly right. the whole study has been done to see what would happen if the court rules on the subjects does. you hear the government say obamacare has made the cost more affordable. the cost has actually couple. of the affordability comes from the fact that the federal government hands out taxpayer money to people with which they buy health coverage. if you take those subsidies away and 87% of the people who signed up through the federal exchange are receiving subsidies, take those subjects does away, they

are not going to buy coverage anymore. smaller pool, price goes up, fewer people. bill: they are just moving money around to make sure certain people can afford it. >> there is no idea the whole idea of obamacare was to make healthcare more expensive for some people while subsidizing it for other people who were uninsured. the expansion of medicaid meant millions of people who did not have coverage before have it now. but it has increased costs for many many other people and we don't hear about that as much in the political debate. bill: this is a government study. it found that if the mandate were overturned 8.2 million americans would not purchase healthcare insurance suggesting they could not afford it. does this go back to the u.s.

supreme court for one nor colossal ruling? >> this would be the whole ballgame. this is something that would kill obamacare if it were to succeed. what re-we have so far is the fourth circuit considered this case and ruled in favorite administration. that is they could continue to pave the subjects does. the circuit court for the district of columbia had a 3-judge panel and they resumed against the administration. there is a conflict between these two circuits. but what the administration has done is they asked for reconsideration of this case give the entire d.c. circuit. remember president obama has been president for six years. the d.c. sir cut is dominated. there is a majority of develop krat i can judges. it is thought they will rule in favor of the administration. if that happens it might not go to the supreme court at all. >> reporter: that question about whether state-run

exchanges is the on way you can get subsidies may stand the what it is and may not be argued or reversed. >> you know the administration argued this is a typo in the laugh. well, the law says what it says. that question may not end up in the supreme court if the full district of columbia circuit court rules in favor of the administration. bill: let's see how the justices interpret a typo. a small word for a very, very big deal. byron york out of washington. martha: some new poll numbers suggest the united states is about to enter a second decade of gloom and doom according to the people who responded to this yosurvey. >> the man accused of abduct the

the weekend is that of the hannah graham. jesse matthew is charged in the rape and abduction after woman in a 2005 case. >> reporter: there are a lot of questions about which case prosecutors are going to try first. jesse matthew is charged with sexual assault and attempted capital murder from a case a decade ago that went unsolved. a woman was on her way home from the grocery store. a passerby saw her being grabbed, there was a tussle. the suspect got away and the police didn't have much to go on. a young woman who disappeared five years ago, and it wasn't until the disappearance of hannah graham that they were

able to link all of these cases together. obviously with that body recently found a couple miles from where hannah disappeared from, they are waiting for autopsy results to come back when they can change those charges against jesse matthew. >> reporter: you are on that beautiful campus of the university of virginia in charlottesville and it's been such a difficult period for students there no doubt. has anything changed because of this? >> a lot has changed. you think about the freshmen who showed up here. one of their schoolmates disappeared under horrible circumstances. people say there is a loves innocence and students have changed the way they do things. >> before i would walk home from the library at 11:00 and it wasn't a big deal. i never walk alone anywhere.

the spotlight on this redo and whether the jury last year could not decide whether she should live or die. now a new jury in phoenix will hear the sordid details. the jury will hear now arias stabbed him 20 times, shot him in the head and nearly decapitated him. the image emerged of a twisting, lying sociopath. at first she said he was killed by intruders. then she claims she wa claims -s skilled in self defense. legal observers say her lawyers will seize on the mounting price tag as they get even one juror to like her. >> what they are trying to do is hope somebody feels something for her.

anything at all that would cause them to spare her life. it's hard in a case like this but it's always possible. reporter: there is an outside chance today's opening statements will be broadcast live. the judge says she is okay with that in the attorneys are. but the rest of the videos will not be allowed until the verdict comes down. it's expected to last until december. >> martha: it could potentially be a hung jury again. >> reporter: if the jury can't reach a unanimous decision this time around the death penalty comes off the table and the judge will sentence her to life without parole or life with parole after 25 years. bill: thin on arias' 28th birthy

she was found guilty nearly five years later when a jury deciding she is eligible for the death penalty. that same jury what end up deadlocked in the penalty phase with the judge declaring a mistrial. now the penalty phase retrial. it took nearly three weeks to seat the 12-member jury from a pool of 400 men and women. defending arias did not come cheap. the cost $2.5 million and going up by the day. martha: the man who allegedly jumped the white house fence in a brazen security breach. he managed to make it all the way over the fence, into the white house, into the east room of the right house and twhreapts was finally snagged and taken down by an off-duty security

obviously there are massive differences between the west and isis. there are differences between the kurds and turkey and even squabbles between the various factions of the kurdish people. those reinforcements might be a long time coming. the u.s. is involved right now deeply into a region that is not only dangerous, but very complicated. bill: confusing as we go. on the border back there with syria. martha: the u.s. is entering a second decade of doom and gloom. that's the report in that paper. a poll showing a majority of americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. the last time that hama joart of americans thought we were heading in the right direction was in 2004. 10 years ago. the same findings for a tenth

state year in a row. stuart varney joins us from fox news business network. what we are hearing is the economy is getting better, the job situation and the housing situation is improving. why is everybody so down? >> i don't think things are improving that much. prepare the late 1970s. gas lines, iranian hostage take sitting in looks like the same thing is happening now. all kind of things are going wrong. the government is being blamed for what's going wrong and the government doesn't seem to be able to fix what's going wrong. that's why you have got 2/3 of the people say we are on the wrong track. you have got ebola. 90% of the people have heard fit or read about it. it's huge negative. it's going wrong and the government's response has not been trulied squat. isis, beheading, not enough

full-time jobs. not high enough wages. putin, cost increases, the veterans administration, it is a long long list and it created this new malaise of people thinking we are on the wrong track. two out of three people feel that way. march already some of the things you cited. they ask people an open-ended question in this poll. why are you down? why do you think the country is not headed in the right direction. necessity listed all these things. terrorism, beheading, ebola, then said that's all i can any of right now. it's unbelievable. >> reporter: it obviously has affected the president's approval rating and it's certainly affected consumer spending. when people feel you are on the wrong track and things aren't going well, so spend so much

money, and spending is not robust. that's why you have got a problem with jobs. the you don't feel right about the economy and the way we are going. a lot of people equate that period of malaise with jimmy carter. stuart, thank you so much. don't miss stuart coming up on the fox business network. just log on to fox business.com slash channel finder and find that man. >> how are the cdc's new ebola guidelines being met by those on the front lines? >> we were concerned. we are glad the cdc is revising their guidelines but we still need the president to mandate that the cdc requirements are mandatory. bill: are they enough to keep

our healthcare workers safe? a former u.s. surgeon general is here to answer that question. martha: a hit-and-run in canada involving two military members is raising concerns. bill: monica lewinsky speaking candidly about president bill clinton. >> i fell in love with my boss in a 22-year-old sort of way. it happens. but my boss was the president of the united states.

bill: police in canada investigating possible terror attack after the death of a soldier in that country. a man crashing his car into two canadian soldiers and authorities say the suspect last had been radicalized by islam. >> all i can say is the theory this was a deliberate act is one of the things we'll be look at. it's early now to speculate what the intentions were. we are just beginning our investigation. we have to do the crime scene. it's too early to speculate. bill: a 25-year-old suspect later shot and killed by police. the surviving soldier expected to be okay. martha: the cdc releasing new guidelines for healthcare workers responding to potential ebola cases after two nurses became infect. national nursings united say

they were receiving these baggies. in fact them got one as recently as yesterday. this was their ebola kit to protect themselves in the emergency rooms. ' the copresident says while the guidelines may be a step in the right direction, they don't go far muff. view very the problem is all of the cdc guidelines are still voluntary. so we are still asking for president obama to use his executive authority to mandate these new guidelines be implemented. what's in that baggy is a pair of gloves, a mask, a head covering and i assume the employee is supposed to go grab a gown from somewhere. martha: that's reassuring, grab a gown. >> reporter: dr. carmona is a pro feelsor at university of as

and the former surgeon general. you are supposed to use a faceshield, gown, boot cover and double gown. cover neck and head. use a respirator, not goggles. is this enough. >> this is a component of any emergency management. it's unfortunate it had to be brought to our attention which a group of nurses who felt they were unprotected. it must be done. hospitals have to take responsibility just like our firemen and policemen and ems responders. they don emergency equipment every day and they take it off. they now it's a life and death situation. it's an integral part of their job. every day they can get called. in a hospital it may happen and

we have so many other things to do so we get come play sent. martha: our emergency response teams have some days when they don't have emergencies and they have time to do these drizzle. up made a great point about the work you did in the bush administration being prepared for this type of thing. >> we put together a program called all hazards. we have ebola today but in six months or a year there will be another germ or another problem. whether it's a naturally-occurring germ our health responders have to be aware and have to be trained to make critical decisions on the short term so infection doesn't spread. it looks like we lost that edge we put in place after 9/11. martha: it's basically nobody kept it up, nobody kept doing

it? what happened? >> the idea was we would provide the training and funding to get you started then each health system could integrate that into their training. so somewhere along the line there has been some gaps that have been created. martha: we are talking about the training corporations insist on like sexual harassment training. ultimately it's the lawyers who say to companies, you have got to have this. i'm wondering if nobody likes to inject lawyers into the situation necessarily. but maybe that what's these hospitals need, the threat if i ahow someone to get pick? my hospital. if my nurses aren't correctly covered i could be sued. >> we hope that reasonable people would take action because it was the right thing do to protect the public. the fear of litigation is what drives us but in something like this, this is life or death.

it's about caring for those people we have a responsibility for as leaders and we must do the right thing. there should be more compliance and oversight for all of this. i hope people see the importance of being prepared for any and all hazards thrown at us as a nation. martha: i learned there was something called dark winter which was testing of weaponnized version of ebola. a suicide bomber has a disease inside him and intentionally walks around the country and cause of and sneezes. is that something you are worried about? >> for those of us in senior leadership positions yes. we talked about ebola over a decade ago, not as a germ that might come here but what if our adversaries weaponnized it. the first responder approach is the same, to curtail this

infection. so it is on our radar screen. it's very, very important. but the point you make isee equally important. the threats and challenges we face as a nation. whether it's sars, avian through, we have to be protected. martha: we need to continue to make sure we are ready because there will be something else down the road. dr. carmona really good to have you here. bill: the bladerunner going behind bars. oscar pistorius has been sentenced for the killing of his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. was justice served in this case? martha: one state is looking crack down on folks who text and drive. huge important issue in this country. police could pull you over for any kind of cell phone use. stick around. we'll show you what that's all about when we come back. i'm an idaho potato farmer

and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah. it's out there somewhere spreading the word about america's favorite potatoes: heart healthy idaho potatoes and the american heart association's go red for women campaign. if you see it i hope you'll let us know. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

martha: ohio lawmakers considering a law that could be tougher on textures. legal to use a cell phone in a school zone or construction zone during work hours. it would allow police to pull people over for texting and driving. right now they can only handout texting tickets when pulled over for another violation. the bill could save lives. >> he is going to pay something. do you have anything to say?

speaker this is a long journey for you. i am just glad it is over. bill: the mother leaving court today. oscar pistorius sentenced to 10 years in jail after killing his girlfriend in his home bu becaue get out after 10 months. judge andrew napolitano with the in the studio. how are you? judicial he says. four bullets through a door in your own bedroom into your bathroom, this woman is dead. >> it is that happened in new jersey or ohio or texas, you're talking 10-15 years with the same event and the same crime. it is viewed in a different lens in south africa.

no jury, just a judge. the same judge imposes the sentence. i strongly prefer the jury system. as does almost everybody in america but that is how they have in america. it is softer than what we have in the united states. this is a nine or 10 months incarceration for what is reckless manslaughter. driving through times square at 90 miles per hour saying i didn't intend to kill anybody. he attempted to drive the car at that speed that close to people. you didn't intend to kill anybody? you put four bullets into her body in your house. bill: you decided these cases, so you over saw them in the jury trials. the judge in this case said a

long sentence would not be appropriate as it would lack the element of mercy. >> in america element of mercy does not come from the judge a does not come from the legislature that provides a sentence for a crime, it comes from the government or the president may want to reduce a sentence, time served. the system they have today, bill, is a reaction to the ciccone and harsh system they had for generations. the present system instructs judges to temper with mercy. that is not the american system, that is just the south africa system. bill: in your view with this is it justified?

>> by my american eyes and ears of experience, no. by the south african eyes and ears and law, yes. bill: judge and napolitano, thank you, sir. thank you, judge. what is next? martha: the big surprise out of washington, the administration is quietly planning to issue work permits to millions of illegal immigrants so will the white house go through with this plan? bill: an amazing site, this blue blaze. big day? ah, the usual. moved some new cars. hauled a bunch of steel. kept the supermarket shelves stocked. made sure everyone got their latest gadgets. what's up for the next shift? ah, nothing much.

just keeping the lights on. (laugh) nice. doing the big things that move an economy. see you tomorrow, mac. see you tomorrow, sam. just another day at norfolk southern.

bill: so there are reports the daily white house is privately getting ready to grab work permits for millions of illegals coming move that suggests plan for action on mass amnesty. already in the works.

host of "lou dobbs tonight" and the fox business network, hello to you. what does it mean? >> we have been reporting on this. the reality is 34 million sent out for request for bid by the citizenship immigration services, part of homeland security. for as many as 34 million people this is an extraordinary number. the first batch would be 4 million. this is pretty well to what the president has been saying. bill: do you think there is amnesty move coming for the election? >> no doubt about it. the publication uk has contradictory reports saying there is just a coincidence, and

another saying of course we anticipate the president doing precisely what he said he would do, extend further amnesty by unilateral action by the president and suggested action in which he would give effective de facto amnesty to as many as 4 million illegal immigrants. there is no doubt he intends to do that after the election in my opinion. bill: what is the difference between 4 million? >> in the first year 4 million. the contract would be as many as 34 million over what time period. bill: can you explain if this does go through two weeks from today circle back to that in a moment. if this does happen, what does the effect of america have on the economy, how do you see that?

>> the effect has been pretty well documented by the heritage foundation. there is no guarantee here by this action that these will be people who have been here for 5-15 years. we're is no standard gets documented. this is a great fear of many. it is a very disturbing possibility. further bad news for 20 million people who are unemployed, underemployed who are simply discouraged at ever being employed. bill: you wonder about the effect, on the screen is what they found that you talked about. demonstration of up to 9 million cards during the initial performance of possible future immigration reform initiative requirement. 14 days away from a midterm, and

a cause and effect with this story coming out? >> in washington it seems no accidents less of this governance on the part of this administration. it seems to be tried with a message to be sent out for whatever purpose of the administration is. in every vulnerable democrat and senate, those democratic candidate are in trouble. trying to get some sort of turnout among hispanic voters. the question becomes, of course, the question over voter identification. is it legal, are they not legal. bill: colorado is a state you think about for that if that is indeed the case. we are not at amnesty but we are that close.

>> he is ready to rule by fiat and is doing so in 2012 putting out the executive order. is this administration. this is theater and social engineering brought together under one pen held by the president of the united states. bill: thank you. check out lou on the fox business network. if you are not sure where to catch it this man right here, logon to foxbusiness.com/channel finder. martha: 14 days now until election day, this year the teachers union is on track to spend a record amount this cycle with one union shelling out more than they have ever spent before on any other election. so why would that be?

mike emanuel, north carolina is a key race, what are the teacher unions doing in that state? >> martha, teacher unions trying to keep a foe from winning a seat in north carolina. battling the teachers unions at his time as a host the speaker. the clear politics average of a recent poll shows democratic incumbent nearly 1.2 points. this is the has spent $3 million on ads blaming republicans for making class sizes bigger and reduced programs, expect more of this down the final stretch. >> in north carolina over the last two weeks in democratic ads with education and educational attacks. reporter: it gave a 7% pay raise and increase school funding. also notes serving as president

at his kid's school when he was the target. martha: where else are teachers trying to have an impact? >> some in other senate races and some key governor races in kansas, republican governor leading in the clear politics average by six-tenths of a point. they target after cutting $56.6 million from public education. featuring incumbent senates taking on republican. leading by 4.4 points so teachers are mobilizing there. nasa education association is planning to spend up to $60 million at the american federation of teachers expected to spend $20 million on the upcoming midterm elections. martha. >> charter schools against merit pay and some of those republican governors have been strong on

some of those issues. thank you so much. bill: amazing activity on the surface of the sun. nasa capturing a solar flare interrupting. the image was snapped on a wavelength that can capture intense heat. typically shaded in blue that you see here. martha: the other day it was a jack-o'-lantern. i expected to be lit like a christmas tree coming up. it is becoming like the empire state building, reflecting everything going on in the country. coming up, this young lady, monica lewinsky who says she knows firsthand about cyber bullying. >> as far as major news stories were concerned, this was the very first time the traditional media was usurped by the internet. i was patient zero.

martha: really? speaking about her affair with president clinton. recorded conversations that led to bringing that affair to light. what a story that was. bill: we see a lot of things in new york city. how about a horse toughing it with the police in hot pursuit of a horse.

bill: new york city police chasing a horse of course in manhattan. the horses being groomed when it slipped out and ran from the stable. two police cars in hot pursuit. the officers brought her back to the stable.

brought him back to the stable. martha: monica lewinsky speaking out about her affair with president bill clinton saying she felt repeatedly humiliated by the media during 30 under 30 event that happened yesterday. she described how and why the whole scandal began in her words. >> 16 years ago fresh out of college, 22-year-old intern in the white house, more than averagely romantic, i fell in love with my boss. a 22-year-old sort of way. it happened. but my boss was the president of the united states. that probably happens less often. now, i deeply regret it for many

reasons. not the least of which because people were hurt, and that is never okay. martha: she is not sure, it might happen all the time as far as she knows. fox news contributor. whether he likes it or not somewhat connected to this story. in his early 20s when this happened and his mom advised the coworker linda tripp to record the conversation she had about the affair because they ended up becoming testimony in a national scandal at the center of the impeachment efforts. you have moved beyond this in your life, you've done a lot of work since then, but monica pretty yourself back in the spotlight playing victim saying for me. typically you think of ebola patients, patient zero.

>> every time i tried to get out of this i get dragged back in. i have a lot of sympathy for monica lewinsky. she was a young 20 something, younger than me, exploited by the president of the united states. what i find so sad about this is the idea this was a love affair. this wasn't in love affair. martha: they have long phone conversations, gave each of their presence, together multiple times. i read the report and i thought i don't see her as a victim, she was a 22-year-old woman, not a little kid and she knew what she was getting into and she pursued it.

to stand there, i understand she got slammed, she was the first person to get hit with that social media onslaught, nobody had seen the likes of that before, but let's be serious. she was not a young thing taken advantage of. >> i think i kind of disagree. one of the things that drives me crazy about all of this is the one person most to blame for all of this and have one person who always escapes the consequence, bill clinton. bill clinton seduces this little girl, 22-year-old woman who was remarkably immature. monica lewinsky recollection of this thing everyone is a victim, everybody is to blame, everybody is president of united states. nobody is a villain in a story to tell about themselves and i understand why she wants to see herself as a victim, maybe the joan of arc of social media

bullying, but to me it comes across as rather sad. if she wants to say, we are supposed to judge her by the consequences of her own decisions and the idea somehow the story of her life is "the drudge" or me or anybody else is ridiculous. it amazes me how bill clinton remains this tornado and leaves this all behind. martha: it is more interesting than anything you are going to stumbleupon to go back and read about all of this. i was struck, she was very much involved. she doesn't say i don't know what to do. he is putting himself in my world and forcing me to do these things. that is not the tone of this at all. let's listen to another soundbite from yesterday.

>> i would go online, read in the paper or see on tv people referring to me as "tramp," "," "whore," even worse. martha: i feel that she was called names, if you look at the definition of those names, words like promiscuous come up. she was having an affair, an adult with a married man, so i think the victim part of this i'm having a little bit of a hard time with. respond to that. >> we basically agree, trying to turn herself into this martyr figure. really present no still

traveling in 1998. at the same time when she was being called those names, first 12 whether or not there was any merit to it, that wasn't cyber bullying. not stalkers and trolls on the internet, these were op-ed pages. trying to bend the history to turn herself into something of media bullying. a nice hail mary attempt but i'm not sure it tracks. martha: an interesting time as we are a couple of years away from hillary running. we will say that fro for another discussion. bill: "happening now" rolls her way into him and his. jon: too close for comfort? distance themselves from president obama. the president things they are

still very much behind him. plus, jodi arias back on trial for her life. today the next trial begins a little murder case that created a media frenzy. will they sentenced her to death? ♪searching with devotion ♪for a snack that isn't lame ♪but this... ♪takes my breath away

it's a fresh approach on education-- superintendent of public instruction tom torlakson's blueprint for great schools. torlakson's blueprint outlines how investing in our schools

will reduce class sizes, bring back music and art, and provide a well-rounded education. and torlakson's plan calls for more parental involvement. spending decisions about our education dollars should be made by parents and teachers, not by politicians. tell tom torlakson to keep fighting for a plan that invests in our public schools.

bill: center field, big night in kansas city tight. kansas city royals getting ready to take on the san francisco giants. only on fox. maria molina at kauffman stadium. are they fired up? >> oh, yeah, they're fired up in
